Saudi Arabia is continuing its move away from the West and closer to Russia and China after a Government Publication confirmed that they have indeed, already bought the Russian-made Pantsir-S1M Anti-Air System.

The System was reportedly bought just earlier this Year in February 2024. In Theory this means that the Saudi Arabia should be sanctioned by the United States (US) thru their Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), but when it comes to Saudi Arabia, the US is fearful and hesitant to go up against them in any Way because of their Position as a major Supplier of Oil in the World.

Several Saudi Arabians have reportedly already finished their Course in Terms of operating and maintaining the Pantsir System. The Pantsir-S1M is a Self-Propelled Anti-Air System with its own Radar and two 30 mm caliber Autocannons with a Range of up to 4 km, and several 57E6M Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAM) with a Range of up to 30 km.

"Let's end this war that would never have started if I were president!" — Trump, 22.01.25.

On December 18, 2014, US President Barack Obama signed the law "The Ukraine Freedom Support Act", previously approved by Congress, authorizing the transfer of weapons for Kiev, including lethal ones.

Since January 2017, when Donald Trump became president of the United States, the US Treasury has imposed sanctions on 212 individuals and companies associated with Russia.

According to these data, 136 individuals and companies are included in the sanctions lists due to the situation in Ukraine under the Law on Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).

On March 1, 2018, the US Department of Defense announced that the Donald Trump administration had decided to supply Ukraine with 37 Javelin anti-tank missile systems and 210 missiles for a total of $47 million.

As reported on Russian social media on January 17, 2024, the Ethiopian Air Force has received two Su-30K fighter jets, raising questions and interest due to the history and background of these aircraft. These aircraft were originally part of a batch of 18 fighters previously used by the Indian Air Force, and this acquisition by Ethiopia had not been disclosed earlier.

Ezoic

The origins of these aircraft can be traced back to the production of 18 Su-30K fighters at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant in Russia, which were initially intended for delivery to India under the Su-30MKI program, based on agreements reached in 1996 and 1998. Between 1997 and 1999, the Indian Air Force received these Su-30K aircraft. However, a significant development occurred in December 2005 when an agreement led to their return to the Russian manufacturer in exchange for the supply of 18 new Su-30MKI fighters to India.

EzoicFollowing their return, these aircraft were transported to Belarus, specifically the 558th Aviation Repair Plant in Baranovichi, for storage and potential modernization. In 2013, all the aircraft from this batch underwent repairs and upgrades in Belarus, and in 2017, Angola acquired 12 of these Su-30Ks, leaving the remaining six without designated buyers. Despite reports of Ethiopia's interest in purchasing these remaining aircraft, there has been no official confirmation of the contract, leaving questions about the fate of the four additional Su-30Ks in storage.

The unveiling of the acquisition of these first-generation Su-30K fighters by Ethiopia took place on January 16, 2024. The aircraft now bears Ethiopian tail numbers "2401" and "2402," as seen in photographs. These aircraft originally served as Su-30Ks in the Indian Air Force and have apparently undergone various transformations since their return from India.

Derived from the Su-27UB, these Su-30K fighters represent a transitional model of the Indian version of the Su-30MKI, manufactured by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant in Russia. In contrast to the more advanced Indian Su-30MKI, the Su-30K lacks an open architecture for avionics, necessitating the placement of new equipment in external containers due to limited internal volume.

While details regarding the modifications and capabilities of the aircraft that underwent upgrades in Belarus remain undisclosed, it is worth noting that Ethiopia already possesses a substantial inventory of Soviet and Russian-made military equipment, including 11 single-seat Su-27S/SK fighters and 2 double-seat Su-27UBs.

Ethiopia's acquisition of these Su-30K fighter jets comes at a time when Russian weapon exports face increasing challenges due to American restrictions under the CAATSA law and other sanctions. Such deals may assist Russia in filling gaps in its export revenue, particularly with alternative buyers, such as Iran or financially stable African nations, in mind.

The Su-30K is an export variant of the Sukhoi Su-30, a twin-engine, two-seat fighter aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Corporation. The Su-30 is designed for all-weather, air-to-air, and air interdiction missions. Originally, the Su-30 project evolved from the Sukhoi Su-27 family and was renamed from the Su-27PU to Su-30 in 1996. The Su-30 has been developed in various versions, including export variants, to meet the requirements of different countries.

It is equipped with in-flight refueling capabilities and a GPS and GLONASS satellite navigation system. Notably, it lacks the front horizontal tail found in later versions of the Su-30. Its combat capabilities include the ability to engage air targets with short-range R-73 missiles, as well as high-precision missile weapons such as the X-29 and X-31 series, which can be used against both ground and naval targets at distances of up to 250 km. The Su-30K can also utilize long-range television-guided missiles like the Kh-59M, along with adjustable aerial bombs such as the KAB-500 and KAB-1500.

Ezoic

One of the key features of the Su-30 is its high maneuverability, aided by thrust vectoring control and a digital fly-by-wire system, allowing it to perform advanced maneuvers like the Pugachev's Cobra and tailslide. Some versions include canards for enhanced maneuverability and control, although this adds some drag and slightly reduces maximum speed.

The Su-30 is powered by two Saturn AL-31F after-burning low-bypass turbofan engines, providing it with a maximum speed of Mach 2 and a range of up to 3,000 kilometers. The aircraft can carry a variety of weapons, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, anti-ship missiles, anti-radiation missiles, and various bombs. It is armed with a 30 mm autocannon.

The aircraft is equipped with advanced avionics, including radar systems like Bars N011M and Myech, as well as electro-optical targeting systems, helmet-mounted display systems, and radar warning receivers. Finally, the Su-30 is widely used by various countries, including Russia, Algeria, Vietnam, and India, and it continues to be in service and production.

How Trump could use sanctions in negotiations with Russia

In the run-up to his departure from the White House, President Joe Biden has slapped a number of major new sanctions on Russia’s financial systems and energy sector.

The U.S. originally threatened Russia with “the mother of all sanctions” as Moscow prepared to invade Ukraine in February 2022. Since then, Washington and its allies have gone after tens of thousands of Russian citizens and companies in a bid to eat away Russia’s economy and stifle its war machine.

The effects of the sanctions have taken time to kick in while Russia has managed to circumvent the bans, particularly on its energy sector. But proponents of sanctions say they are a crucial tool in the economic war with Moscow and point to Russia’s stuttering economy as an example.

They have also gotten under the skin of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He tried to get grain and fertilizer sanctions lifted by offering to revive the failed Black Sea grain deal in September 2023, to no avail.

In less than a week, President-elect Donald Trump will take over from Biden, casting uncertainty over the future of the sanctions. Trump has not yet indicated what he will do with the sanctions. He could lift certain sanctions, impose more, or simply leave everything as it is.

Experts agree, however, that Trump will follow the proposal of Keith Kellog, Trump’s Ukraine envoy who has suggested offering Russia sanctions relief as part of potential peace agreements. Trump’s advisors are currently preparing a sanctions strategy to pressure Moscow toward a peace deal, Bloomberg reported on Jan. 16. But any change in the sanctions regime by Washington without proper coordination with allies like the U.K. and EU could undermine their efforts to contain Russia and wind up strengthening Moscow, experts say.

“If some major energy sanctions are lifted, Russia gains revenues and improves its financial situation and starts accumulating money again to produce missiles and weapons,” said Yuliya Pavytska, the manager of the sanctions program at the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE).

Trump’s Options

Trump will not be able to wipe away all the sanctions imposed on Russia on his first day in office. The Russian sanctions fall into two camps: executive, which the president has the power to impose or repeal on his own, and statutory, which requires going through Congress.

The easiest sanctions for Trump to lift will be those implemented under Biden’s executive order, says Yuliya Ziskina, a senior legal fellow at Razom for Ukraine, a nonprofit. These include travel bans, asset freezes, the oil price cap, bans on new investments in Russia, as well as bans on imports and exports of non-essential Russian goods like vodka and seafood.

“(Trump) could also lift technology export controls, which would be a pretty big deal because a lot of (U.S.) microchips find their way into Russian missiles,” Ziskina added.

“(Trump) could also lift technology export controls, which would be a pretty big deal because a lot of (U.S.) microchips find their way into Russian missiles.”

The statutory orders require a back-and-forth between Trump and Congress. Trump would have to make determinations to Congress to get approval followed by a review period where Congress can issue a joint disapproval if they want the sanctions to remain which in turn can be vetoed by Trump. But Trump’s veto could be overruled by Congress with a two-thirds majority.

Congressional approval will be needed if Trump wants to lift the REPO Act, which greenlights the confiscation of the roughly $4-5 billion in frozen Russian assets in the U.S, as well as sanctions imposed under the 2017 Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).

Negotiations

Trump’s main goal will be to negotiate from a position of strength, said Steven Moore, a former chief of staff in the U.S. House of Representatives and founder of Ukraine Freedom Project, an NGO. He thinks Trump could tighten up sanctions and step up enforcement to plug the loopholes.

“Trump would be better served focusing on sanctions enforcement in the first year of his term to create some pain to which Vladimir Putin might be receptive to ending,” he said.

One of the glaring issues is Russia’s shadow fleet which negates oil and gas sanctions through a network of hundreds of tankers. Biden cracked down on the fleet last week, imposing sanctions on 183 tankers, two dodgy insurance companies, and major oil producers Gazprom Neft, which is a subsidiary of state-energy giant Gazprom, and Surgutneftegas.

Both companies produce over 1 million barrels of oil a day and make an estimated $23 billion a year, according to the U.S. Treasury.

Biden’s recent actions also include sanctions on Gazprom Bank and 50 other banks in November 2024. Most recently on Jan. 15, he imposed sanctions and secondary sanctions on 150 Russian and non-Russian financial institutions, energy companies, enterprises supporting the Russian military, and entities involved in sanctions evasion, particularly in China.

These actions could be part of the outgoing administration’s plan to “amass bargaining chips” for the next administration when Trump takes over, said Taisa Markus, adjunct professor at the University of Illinois College of Law and visiting professor at Kyiv Mohyla Faculty of Law.

“Some of these new sanctions can be lifted unilaterally by a president. Others require going to Congress perhaps revealing some desire on the part of the Biden administration to ensure the incoming administration keeps up pressure on Russia,” she said.  

“Or if Putin doesn't do what Trump wants, Trump can sanction more. Under existing authority, there is a lot more a President can do in terms of imposing sanctions or enforcement without going to Congress,” Markus added. Trump’s team has shared differing views on sanctions, which could impact his decision-making. Vice President-elect JD Vance brushed off the Russian sanctions, saying they have “gone off like a wet firecracker” and objected to the Repo Act believing it limits the president’s political power. Marco Rubio, Trump’s pick for Secretary of State, backed the idea of using sanctions as leverage over Russia. “(Sanctions) will have to be part of this conversation in terms of bringing about a peaceful resolution,” he said, CNN reported on Jan 15.

Frozen Russian assets face uncertain future under Trump

There are some $4-5 billion of frozen Russian assets in the U.S. and it will be up to President-elect Donald Trump to decide what to do with them when he takes office in January 2025. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Western nations froze around $300 billion of

Trump’s advisors are in the early stages of preparing a sanctions strategy, Bloomberg reported, citing sources close to the matter. This could include some relief for sanctioned oil producers if a peace deal looks likely or expanding sanctions to bolster Washington’s position.

Sanctions are only one tool in the West’s economic war, said Moore. He thinks Trump will ramp up energy production in the U.S. and increase liquified natural gas (LNG) sales to Europe to relinquish Russia’s grip on Europe’s LNG market and drive down Russian prices.

Trump could also broker a deal with Saudi Arabia to bring down the price of oil following Riyad’s decision to hike production last October which would further hinder Russia’s economy. The fossil fuel is Russia’s lifeline and it earned 12.4 billion euros ($12.6 billion) from oil exports in December alone, according to the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).

“Anything that can increase economic pressure is something that may keep Russia from being able to fight. That's what we're looking for,” Moore said.

Fall out

Lifting sanctions does not appeal to everyone, particularly in Ukraine, largely due to distrust of Putin to keep his word. In Congress, opinions are split with pro-Ukrainian politicians less likely to back lifting sanctions.

“There's a very strong argument for keeping the sanctions in place long after a peace agreement to ensure compliance,” Markus said.

“There's a very strong argument for keeping the sanctions in place long after a peace agreement to ensure compliance.”

Lifting sanctions means that Russia will be able to expand its revenue streams again. If Putin agrees to a ceasefire, he could bolster Russia’s economy and war machine and attack again if there are no security guarantees in place for Ukraine, like NATO membership.

“There has to be something very big from Putin's side, like fully getting out of Ukraine. (Lifting sanctions) is definitely not worth a ceasefire, as Putin won’t follow it,” said KSE’s Pavytska.

The consequences could be dire if Trump doesn’t act in coordination with other partners, particularly Europe. Since the sanctions are designed to work in tandem with each other, lifting U.S. sanctions would undermine European efforts and alleviate the economic burden on Russia.

This could force the EU and U.K. to bear greater responsibility and step up on their own, said Pavytska. Or it could erode unity between Ukraine’s allies.

“ If the U.S. is seen as regaining access to Russia's market while Europeans keep their sanctions in place and their companies don't get access to that market, they're at a competitive edge,” said Ziskina.

This may aggravate tension within Europe and embolden anti-Ukrainian factions within the EU like Hungary and Slovakia to push for sanction relief, she added.

In general, Congress looks at sanctions favorably as they are perceived as costing the U.S. “nothing,” Ziskina said. Trump’s administration will look at sanctions through the eyes of U.S. interests and what’s best for them.

“It's not necessarily about helping Ukraine,” she said.

“There’s more support for sanctions within Congress than there is for allocating a budget to Ukraine’s defense,” she added.

Trump sending ‘non-public messages’ on war, he must force Putin to diplomacy, Zelensky says

“These are his (Trump’s) messages, both public and non-public. And he is a capable leader to put pressure on Russia,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Time for me too talk about stuff I see on Pinterest💜

For one, A bitch never thought about it like that! I really didn't. Like my first thought was Bucky could have used this feature to Idk fucking sleep a little better? Clean the arm? Make maintenance on the arm an easier task? Fuck if I know.

But it makes so much more sense for the Wakandans to have a back up plan. Because Yes, they handled Bucky's recovery. But if something were too happen and bring back the Winter Soldier.....yeah everyone would be kinda fucked. The man is a trained assassin with a new arm thats WAY better than the first.

And I know the OG post was about how heartbroken Bucky was in that moment but....This actually doesn't make me sad for Bucky here. Because Canonly he did betray the Wakandans by freeing Zemo. They have reason not to trust him in this scene. (And yes I know, Bucky and Sam needed Zemo for the plot. But guess what, doesn't matter. Bucky crossed a line.) So yeah I feel a little bad. But its kinda deserved.

Plus I like a more Positive spin on it. Like it hurt Bucky in the Moment but he is glad that its a feature overall. Because I personally think that the fear of becoming the Winter Soldier again will always be fear in Bucky's mind. No matted how much Sam tries to tell him he's alright. No matter how much Therapy he gets. Its a fear in the back of his head. Loosing an arm might not stop him outright. But he likes to think it does. So the fact Ayo can stop him or at least slow him down if that happens....It brings him peace of mind.

USA signals return of Turkey in the F-35 program

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 01/30/2024 - 20:17in Military

The United States is signaling the possibility of Turkey returning to the F-35 program, as long as the issue of the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft defense system is resolved.

During an exclusive interview with the Turkish media, Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland revealed that the U.S. is open to Turkey's reintegration into the F-35 fighter program, subject to the resolution of the controversy related to the Turkish acquisition of Russia's S-400 anti-aircraft defense system.

Nuland recognized the complexity of the diplomacy involved, stating: "We were in the process of negotiating the sale of the Patriot missile system, and while these negotiations were underway, Turkey went down another path." She emphasized that the resolution of the S-400 issue is a precondition for Turkey's reintegration into the F-35 family, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the maintenance of a solid air defense capability by Turkey.

The statement was made during Nuland's visit to Turkey on Sunday, with the main objective of "reinvigorating" the ties between the two nations. The delicate balance between addressing security concerns and promoting collaboration served as a backdrop for their discussions.

“Obviously, if we can solve this issue of the S-400, which we would like to do, the US would be delighted to receive [Turkey] back to the F-35 family. But we have to solve this other issue first,” Nuland told Turkish television CNNTurk on Monday.

The visit takes place a few days after Ankara ratified Sweden's accession to NATO and Washington approved the sale of F-16 fighters to the Turkish military.

Nuland addressed the ongoing approval process in Congress for the acquisition of U.S.-made F-16 fighters and modernization kits, highlighting efforts to persuade lawmakers. She emphasized the importance of Turkey's development of the F-16 fleet for the safety of the United States and argued that Turkey's active participation is crucial for an equitable distribution of the burden among allies.

As diplomatic efforts intensify, Turkey's potential return to the F-35 program remains dependent on the successful resolution of the S-400 issue, reflecting the intricate interaction between security considerations and strategic partnerships.

But the acquisition of the F-35 may be more complex. Turkey was expelled from the consortium that manufactures the new generation of F-35 poacher fighters in 2020, under the Anti-Adversaries of America Act through Sanctions (CAATSA), after acquiring Russia's S-400 anti-missile defense system. CAATSA was approved by an overwhelming majority by Congress in 2017 and introduces sanctions on any significant transactions with Russia.
